Abstract/Notes: "It is essential that we match our methodology with the psychology of the adolescent and as this changes throughout adolescence, so should our approach." Mike Waski provides an understanding of how to approach mathematics at the adolescent level from the perspective of the developmental characteristics of the age. Sharing observations from his own work with adolescents, Waski shares his deep understanding of the adolescent personality and specifically how the personality relates to their work in mathematics. Beginning with concrete work in elementary and building through abstract work, the older adolescent eventually begins to consider the philosophical nature of mathematics. In mathematics, the adolescent finds a study of precision that is founded in the search for undeniable, fundamental truths. [This talk was presented at the NAMTA Adolescent Workshop at the AMI/ USA Refresher Course, February 17-20, 2017 in Austin, TX.]

Abstract/Notes: This chapter discusses two publications of Maria Montessori’s writings about the education of older children. The Advanced Montessori Method in two volumes (1917) addresses the needs of the Elementary child (ages 6-12). Volume I discusses a learning environment adapted to this age group including assessment and evaluation as a process self-directed by the child. It also draws attention to socio-political aspects of education, including Montessori’s view of the need to introduce “Children's Civil Rights in the 20th Century.” Volume II, outlines the didactic principles for teaching at the Elementary level. The book, From Childhood to Adolescence (1973), describes development, conceived by Montessori, as a succession of levels from childhood to maturity, considering the thread of continuity that links the different stages. The chapter concludes with an examination of the book’s appendix, Erdkinder, which portrays an environment designed to meet the needs of the Adolescent.
